Crosas goes French

Barcelona midfielder Marc Crosas (20) was last month loaned out to French champion Olympique Lyon till the end of the season. The player, who was permanently promoted to the first team only in December 2007, has already gained more playing minutes in less than a month then he did in the first half of the season playing for Barcelona.

Due to the injury of Lyon playmaker Juninho, Crosas started the three league games so far. He adapted quickly to the new competition but had some problems caused by not having started a game for a long time. Crosas can't play for Lyon in the Champions League.
